Shin-Soo Choo’s greatest Texas Rangers moments: Giving back

The Texas Rangers’ longtime designated hitter was more than a clubhouse presence and good teammate, he was a great human being and that proved true early during the 2020 season.

In what would be the craziest baseball season we’ve seen to date, many were left without a paycheck across the country, including the minor leaguers.

Shin-Soo Choo wasted no time helping by donating $1,000 to 191 of the Texas Rangers’ minor league players.

Not only did Choo help his organizational teammates, but also made a $200,000 donation to Daegu, South Korea that had struggled mightily from the pandemic.

This was just the beginning of the 2020 season, and would be book-ended by another emotional moment for Shin-Soo Choo, his family and his Rangers’ family.
